Juan WilliamsLove, I would later conclude, was all things to all people. Love was the breaking and healing of hearts. Love was misunderstood, love was faith, love was the promise of now that became hope for the future. Love was a rhythm, a resonance, a reverberation.

The same gravity that relentlessly pulled at me was defied as I rose into something that became everything.

It hugs the easy way of damning those whom it cannot understand, of excluding those who look different, and it salves its conscience with a self-draped cloak of righteousness

I wanted to make the flowers more aggressive and ironic and less docile and sensual.

Cesar MillanInnate sensuousness rarely has any desire for accuracy, no desire for precise information. It basks in sunshine, bathes in color, dwells in a sense of the impressive and the gorgeous, and rests there.

True controlling sensuousness cannot be manifested in the most active dispositions, nor again in the most accurate.

Elif SafakMy experience is that the director of the FBI is particularly important to just how aggressive an investigation will be into an issue.

I remember when I was with one of my roommates in New York - and she's Portuguese, too - and we were in an Apple store talking about a computer in Portuguese.

Daniela RuahConfronting our feelings and giving them appropriate expression always takes strength, not weakness. It takes strength to acknowledge our anger, and sometimes more strength yet to curb the aggressive urges anger may bring and to channel them into nonviolent outlets. It takes strength to face our sadness and to grieve and to let our grief and our anger flow in tears when they need to. It takes strength to talk about our feelings and to reach out for help and comfort when we need it.

David BrooksThere is a war on terror that must be fought. Nobody's immune...

Terror has to be brought to an end.
